Ocean Eyes
For a moment
everything was hazy
and warm
and smoothed
over but this was quickly punctured
by the heat of the words
that were spoken like
barbed wires
stuck
between
the
hurt
Like static electricity
recalling the sweetness
of your teeth
tapping against mine
now bitter
waltzing around the dream
of you
and
me
Like the sound of salt
whistling through the rolling
waves
omnipresent
stronger at night
fading by dawnlight
The same salt that
had danced on my tongue
before his unequivocal
blindness
descended
down
Like a nightmare in his raging
eyes that played back to me
an old cassette tape
of his story
whisked away
by the waters
of his ocean
into which
I fell
